Systematizing Vidaloka & Pridi

Build a mono-category system where Vidaloka leads and Pridi keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Vidaloka brings didone, curly, display energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Pridi absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its thai, slab, modern texture and dependable rhythm. Together they create a typography stack that scales from high-impact landing pages to dense documentation without retooling your CSS tokens.

Vidaloka thrives as a headline face thanks to its didone, curly, display qualities. Use weights 400–600 for crisp editorial lockups.
Pridi excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its thai, slab, modern traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.2 modular scale and reserve Vidaloka for H1–H3 while Pridi powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

  • High-growth SaaS landing pages that require didone hero statements with trustworthy product copy.
  • Editorial magazines and thought-leadership hubs where Vidaloka can dramatize pull quotes while Pridi keeps 1,500-word essays skimmable.
  • Conversion funnels or onboarding flows that need Pridi's thai voice to balance Vidaloka's attention-grabbing display.

Accessibility Notes

Maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for Pridi body copy and loosen letter-spacing to 0.01em for uppercase Vidaloka moments. Pairing different categories demands disciplined color pairing—test both light and dark themes to ensure Pridi does not bloom at small sizes.

Heading scale: clamp(2.75rem, 3.6vw, 5.25rem) for H1, clamp(1.5rem, 2.8vw, 3rem) for H2, and keep paragraph size at 1rem–1.125rem with 1.6 line-height.
Component guidance: Buttons inherit Vidaloka at 400 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Pridi with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Vidaloka make sense as the lead font?

Vidaloka owns the emotional register of this system. Its didone, curly, display profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Pridi show up?

Pridi is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its thai, slab, modern qualities reduce fatigue on dense layouts.

Does this pairing support complex localization?

Yes—both families are available on Google Fonts with generous glyph coverage. Test cyrillic/latin accents early, but most Latin-based locales and UI patterns are fully supported.
